Really? Can they actually hurt people? Or do they just hiss and charge like ducks and geese? Serious question, I'm not being funny. I just assumed they chased people angrily and kept charging. I've seen videos of them chase people, but never saw them hurt anyone. I just assumed they had a lot of heart but couldn't actually hurt people.

@@HoneeyBee3 A swan won't seriously injure an adult, but they have been known to knock people down and then proceed to bash them repeatedly. People have gotten broken bones and concussions from swan attacks. Like most animals, though, they're inclined to avoid humans if at all possible, so the number of those incidents is rather low.

@@Belleplainer Ah ok, that makes sense. Thank you so much for explaining!! I was genuinely curious & didn't see much about swan attacks 😂lol

​@@HoneeyBee3 I've read they are capable of breaking your back. I also remember reading several years ago of a swan drowning a dog who got too close to the nest. They might be pretty, but they can kick ass and take names 😬

​​@@Belleplainer Bit contradicting, the fact u said they cant srsly injure someone but can manage to break bones- 😅

Its reaction at 1:08 tells us that it does not have a single clue if its offspring is safe or not with the human. It "settled" simply because it accepted the fact that a predator took his offspring and that's it. No need to romanticize nature.

​@@user-fx9rw7xc1e That's the worst part about nature and animal videos is people who over humanize wild animals. Projecting human emotions and thoughts onto them when in reality they can't even comprehend 99 percent of the things we can.

He’s not settled - the wings puffed out shows he is still quite agitated.

​@@ryman1933 Care to explain why "over humanize nature" is a bad thing?

​@@AnthonyFurnival you're right to point out that the male swan was not 100% settled, as being a father and protector of his family, he still needs to be wary of his brood's safety since the human is still within its vicinity. However, as compared to his previous agitated state, the male swan has obviously toned down his aggressiveness. Unlike humans suffering from cptsd, animals in the wild have finely tuned autonomic nervous systems that can perceive threat within its' environment. This enables them to gear itself up for fight/ flight or freeze. But once danger has receded, animals can regulate themselves back to normal pretty quickly, unlike victims of trauma.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. YOU MAY BE IRRESPONSIBLE, BUT WHY CONDEMN THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE FOR THE ACTIONS OF THE RELATIVELY FEW WHO ARE?🙈😳🥺🤯😫 😖

​@@miltonmoore8369 Probably not the entire human race, but it's definetly more than just a few. I have dogs, so obviously we're outside a lot. Not in parks in citys, but in the fields and in the woods. The amount of trash out there is unbelievable! Everything you can and can't imagine. We even found a fridge once. A f'n refridgerator in the middle of the woods! I still wonder how they got that thing out there. And masks! Hundreds and hundreds of them...

not all, SOME

@@Elijah8890 When did I say "all"? And it is the PEOPLE who are irresponsible, not the animals. Millions of wild animals, like birds and ocean creatures, even cats and dogs get cought in fishing nets and hooks every year. It's a terrible way to die.

Indeed poor baby hes lucky someone noticed him 😢😢

Oh my goodness thank you Frode your a wonderful human being to risk your safety for that sweet baby swan! God bless you and reward you for your great care and love!! 😍🙏💞🦢

Omg oh baby a triple

I’ve given you a thumbs down for bad language when there’s absolutely NO need for it! Only lazy ignorant brainless morons use bad language! I challenge you DON’T swear for a month and see how hard it is. To be a macho man show compassion forgiveness love NO bad language and be there for other’s and I again challenge you to live the holy Catholic lifestyle for ONE week! A lot harder than you think. I’ve been living the Catholic lifestyle for 33 year’s and it’s awesome inspirational and real living. God bless. Please watch the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins.

Swans don't even have the mental capacity to comprehend things such as gratitude. Stop trying to project human attributes to an oversized goose.

@@hello.mynameisconnor9225 sure they do, Connor.

awwwww cutie, want some corn?

Yes he did, I saw that too. I am taking care for the swans here and he is thankful for her help.

You'll find most animals are....

WHY WOULD YOU WRITE A FALSE COMMENT LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU JUST WATCHED A VIDEO OF A PERSON WHO IS NOT THE WORST ENEMY OF ANIMALS?🥺😧😫 UNCOUNTABLE PEOPLE THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE RESCUED ANIMALS, ADOPTED THEM, RAISED THEM TO PERPETUATE VARIOUS SPECIES TO KEEP THEM FROM BECOMING EXTINCT, ETC. ANIMALS KILLING EACHOTHER, AND HARSH AND DEADLY ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE THE WORST AND MOST UNFORGIVING AND COMPLETE OF ENEMIES. Respectfully

​@@owlsrawesome no, you watch it. Enjoy your depression

I hope you are not one of those bad humans who’s purpose is to hurt animals for a profit and/or pleasure, that said Not All humans are enemies to animals, but yes there are horrible so called humans who kill or hurt creatures for sick pleasure and/or for greed.

@milton.....Tara didn't say ALL people are cruel. She's correct though....mankind can be cruel and destructive to the animal kingdom.

Nature and animals are more powerful than man!

thank you for trying. 🫂

Damn. The worst part is they likely thought you stole it to eat or something. You did your best :(

Только " человек" гадит в природе. А еще называют себя разумными. Создатель создал все идеальным, кроме людей. Огромная часть не умеет жить в гармонии

What serious injury? The reason it didn’t attack him is because they can’t. They flap their wings to intimidate and can give you a little peck. That’s as much as they can do though 😂. Do your research my friend.

Это парень 😄

It's beautiful how the father quickly settles down onto the water once he knew his baby was safe. Such majestic creatures. Indeed, a heroic deed from Frode!
